The government wants to change the high-cost protection, which would mean that private individuals would be responsible for a larger part of the drug costs.
– The high-cost protection will remain. We will do what we can to ensure that those who need a lot of medicine are least affected by it. But we will probably all have to pay more for medicines, says Health Care Minister Acko Ankarberg Johansson in Ekot’s Saturday interview.
According to information to Ekot, the government wants to raise the lower amount limit by up to around SEK 2,000, but Acko Ankarberg Johansson does not want to comment on that.
The state’s cost of medicines has increased by 20 percent in recent years. The high-cost protection means that a private person today gets a discount when it reaches a sum of SEK 1,425 and after SEK 2,850 the medicine is free.
